Can anyone tell me if Killzone 2 still has awful input lag like in the demo? I just got a PS3 and want to get it, but the controls in the demo are awful. Any help would be appreciated.

I hate the kill lag sooooo much, you shoot the shit out of someone, then they shoddy blast you and after you've died you hear a bleep indicating you've scored a kill. It drives me fucking batty.

Dear Guerrilla Games,

I love you.

Yours,

(p.s. don't pay attention to the whiners who will surely want to mention stuff about the controls and stuff. It's getting old I know, but they don't.)

So, I just bought Killzone 2 last weekend (currently the only game I own for my brand new PS3), and my experience so far has been... just OK. The graphics are good, but not the second coming of Christ like those on N4G would lead you to believe (I guess it's my fault for reading that awful site). Great character models and effects, for sure, but the environments and weapons are pretty generic/bland from what I've seen so far (I'm about half-way through the story). Also, the gameplay so far is pretty generic and predictable in my opinion, though I do enjoy the weighty feeling your character has, as well as the well-implemented cover system (I really wish you could remap the controls beyond the presets, however, but that's just because I'm not used to the DualShock yet).

The reason I mention this (not flaming at all... after all, I bought the damn game, didn't I?) is because I'm wondering if maybe the multiplayer side is what all the fuss is about? I still haven't tried it out, but if the maps are on sale and worthwhile, I'd like to pick them up, but if the multiplayer doesn't offer anything I don't already get in other games (I enjoy Battlefield, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead, to name a few), then I'd rather not sink any more money into this one.

Thanks for the advice!

I didn't like the controls in Killzone 2 either. But Warzone was fun.

Yea i only played a bit of the online but id love to pick this up if the lag isn't still horrible anyone know?

Actually, the multiplayer class system is heavily "borrowed" from TF2, although the actual gameplay is more like a COD game, so if you like the sound of that give it a try since you already have a game and if you get into it, buy the maps and if not then don't. I personally don't play it anymore as I'm too busy playing newer games but when I did play it, I played it a lot and it was all good fun. It gets a bit chaotic with 32 people but the modes keep changing and keeps things fresh.

I'd say it's only 'like Call of Duty' in that you acquire XP points to unlock abilities classes and weapons. That's it.

Gameplay wise it plays ALOT like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, rather than CoD or TF2, except instead of having 'push' styled maps the maps stay within the same area but does change it's objectives on the fly similar to such.

Also screw the haters KZ2's multiplayer is a lot of fun if you enjoy Enemy Territory. I just dislike how you have to unlock the classes before you get to use them.

Thank God...I have a legit reason (other than being utterly nonplussed with it) to take MW2 back to Blockbuster early.

Oh, oh wait...Uncharted haz the double XP weekend too??!
